[QUOTE="Jaguares, post: 800098, member: 63264"] I dont think so. The game is more dynamic and more risky in SR, then it's more difficult to defend. The OZ front row is very good ATM: Kepu, Holmes, Moore, Slipper and Sio are very good players and can contend to the English front row, I think the issue at the front row in OZ were guys like Benn Robinson and Ben Alexander who can't scrummage at test level. Now the problem would be the second row, especially Maro Itoje, he's one of the best locks ATM and he's so young. The Aussies have good locks but they aren't so complete like Itoje who can do everything. They have Rob Simmons, one of the best jumper at Super Rugby but he lacks physical, he's too soft to play at test level. Then they have strong players like Lopeti Timani but he can't jump. That's the main problem ATM for them. But they have players, I think Coleman could be a great lock for the Wallabies, he needs to show their skills at test level. [/QUOTE]
